After looking into this further I now believe that you can forward-port<br>
the changes you made to code you licensed under the JRL and publish them<br>
under GPLv2. This is possible solely because the exact same code is now<br>
available under GPLv2 and you could simply license it from Sun under<br>
GPLv2 and achieve the same result.<br>
<br>
The resulting files should, of course, carry the usual OpenJDK GPLv2<br>
legal notice at the top, rather than the original JRL notice.<br>
<br>
As far as I can see, you need no "special dispensation" at this point in<br>
order to publish your Closures prototype under GPLv2.</blockquote><div><br>

Thanks for following up. The delta I sent has only
GPLv2 licenses (no JRL licenses), so I'm all set to push those changes after merging with the latest.<br>
